Uhmn, why? We oblige devs to write sorcery and spells in bash. Not zsh,
not ksh, not tcsh, not C, not C++, not Perl, not Pythen, not whatever,
but bash. And for good reason, requiring a lead to continually do
translations would be mad, I can't think of anyone who'd be willing to
do that. Why would we require this of a Tome lead? Documentation should
be in a fixed markup and all devs should accomodate, whatever the choice
will be. Of course we should choose wisely, choosing something the
majority of us is happy with.
